Oho-Kami is Omnipresent in Any Country all over the World

As I am always making much of Amaterasu-oho-mi-kami（天照太御神） in Japan, some Japanese people or foreigners living in foreign countries might feel a little bit lonely about this. Or others might think that it is only a local deity and they have nothing to do with it.

Amaterasu-Oho-Mi-Kati is the true Sun God. There’s no country on the earth where you cannot see the sun. In any country, there exists the sun. Though it is called Amaterasu-oho-mi-kami in Japan, people all over the world have worshiped the same god by different names since ancient times, depending on the age and country. The divinity in the depth of all gods is the Sun God.

It is interesting that though the names of the Sun God are different depending on the language, it often happens that the name has the combination of “A,” “Ma,” “Te,” “Ra,” or “Su” or includes a part of the pronunciation like “Ra.” This, I feel, is because these sounds are full of energy wave that produces all lives and things.

As for the gender of the Sun God, there are various theories in each country. In Japan, there still has been the theory that Amaterasu-oho-mi-kami is a male god. A lot of people, including persons of power who worshiped it in earnest, seem to have mistaken it for a male god because of a visual hallucination of a male priest.

The true identity of Amaterasu-oho-mi-kami is an energy body like the sun. It’s not like spiritual beings with a figure of a human, but an energy body much more fundamental. It doesn’t have a high temperature as the actual sun does. You couldnn’t feel the temperature but feel it’s a heart-warming being. It’s true that it has feminine, spiritual waves. This may be because it has the same kind of characteristic of producing and raising all things as women.

Interestingly enough, the sun exists in spirit worlds, too, where there is no sunset and it is shining all the time. The lower you go down there, the smaller sun you could see in the dark. Spiritual bodies can only live there by taking in the energy from the sun.

If you live in a country other than Japan, remind yourself of gratitude toward the sun early in the morning in your own way, and you can feel Amaterasu-oho-mi-kami definitely. It doesn’t matter what you call the Sun God. All gods lead to the same.

Writing this article, I was thinking about a cruciform appearing in the sun I saw spiritually when I visited Izougu（伊雑宮）of Ise Grand Shrine（伊勢神宮） in May last year. I feel that sunspots might appear like a cross in a few years. The electromagnetic waves emitted from the sun at the time might make us human beings outgrow our former self.
